It’s conference season, and at the Labour conference in Liverpool – flagshagging, snake-oil merchants and leadership jockeying – is it Keir Starmer’s final chance for a reset? Nish and Coco are joined by political journalist Zoë Grünewald.

And later – as Trump reveals his plans for peace in Gaza, including a bizarre role for former PM Tony Blair – is the UK doing enough for Gaza? Nish speaks to Labour MP for Stroud, Dr Simon Opher, who earlier this month was denied entry into the occupied West Bank. Simon also fills Nish in on an innovative new prescription medicine – Laughter.

Finally – we open the mailbag to share your wonderful stories of immigration in the UK – and Nish furthers his feud with a beloved British comedy icon.
